Wednesday Nights Fall Festival

Last night we went to the Fall Festival at Village Baptist Church. The kids had a blast and Mackenzie ended up spending most of the time with a friend from school until we "found" our neighbors who were there. This is the first year that Jackson has picked out a costume and he was so excited. He heard a kid say "look Dad it's Batman" about his costume and Jackson says to me "the kids said my name, he knows my name". So he was in full Batman mode last night.

Mackenzie was adorable dressed in her poodle skirt. She enjoyed it a lot and loved twirling around in the skirt. Her only complaint of the night was that Jackson got more candy than her. Oh and Lee had a good time too. His favorite thing at these events is the cake walk. Seriously. Well this year it was a much smaller walk so you had to keep getting in line to play. He went probably 5 or so times earlier in the evening and left empty handed. Then later when it was almost over he went back with Mackenize and they played it even more times until she finally won. He felt victorious. So now we have the hard earned cookies on our counter. Oh yeah as a side note a few years back, I think it was before Jackson was born he played the cake walk at Cinco Baptist Church's fall festival. He finally won the next to last cake they had left. The ladies were so excited to give it to him because it was this HUGE cake. We leave the festival and get in the car and find that the cake had an expiration date of 4 days prior. It must've been donated by a local bakery or something. He was so disappointed.

We had a blast and enjoyed it all very much. The best news of all is that only my left ankle had any swelling from standing up and it was just around the ankle bone and not all the way up my leg! Friday night I think we are heading to Baytowne Wharf at the Sandestin Resort to go Trick or Treating at their stores. Then at 8pm they have fireworks. Not that the kids need more candy but they enjoy dressing up.
